Do you still use choline chloride in your feed production?

With over 20 years of application and an extensive list of scientific publications, Natu-B4® is the choice of producers looking to maximize results without compromising animal health or the environment.

¿Why replace choline chloride witn Natu-B4?

1) Industrial benefits

Forget the problems and consequences of hygroscopicity: it is the end of premix caking, reduce excess carriers by reducing premix volume, stocks and transports and thus increasing your competitiveness, reduce crusting in mixers and eliminate vitamin overdosing. 

2) Performance and health benefits

Natu-B4™  complements the choline present in cereals in an intelligent way, having its greatest potency precisely in the function where cereal choline or choline chloride are less effective: energy metabolism, which makes it the ingredient of choice when we think of a complementary and complete supplementation.

By increasing lipid utilization, Natu-B4™ can be applied in a specific protocol to reduce fat deposition in the liver and abdominal cavity of poultry and in the subcutaneous tissue of pigs, avoiding chronic problems resulting from excessive deposition, and potentially improving profitability at the slaughterhouse.

By excluding choline chloride, we reduce the intake of chlorine in diets, which reduces the likelihood of metabolic problems resulting from its excess. 

Effect on performance when substituting choline chloride

Historical differences in weight gain and feed conversion rate between broilers supplemented with Natu-B4® and choline chloride:

Benefit in carcass composition

If applied in a specific protocol, Natu-B4® can significantly modulate the carcass composition of poultry and pigs. 🡺 Thus, less fat is deposited and more energy is available for muscle development.

• ✔️ Up to -2.8 mm of backfat in pigs
• ✔️ Up to +10% spine depth
• ✔️ Up to +4.2% % of meat in carcasses
• ✔️ Up to -16% amount of fat in liver
• ✔️ Up to -20% relative weight of abdominal fat
• ✔️ Up to -9% relative liver weight
• ✔️ Up to 100% reduction of fatty liver syndrome

Effect on energy distribution

Poultry: less fat deposition in the liver and abdomen, lower incidence of fatty liver and more energy available for muscle development.

Pigs: Lower subcutaneous fat deposition which means leaner carcasses, greater energy availability for muscle development and higher percentage of meat in carcasses with higher yield of cuts.

Cost-effective formula

With Natu-B4®, fat deposition in the carcass is reduced and converted into energy for muscle growth and development. The amount of metabolizable energy available is known and this value can save energy in the formulation of poultry diets,  thereby reducing their cost.

Since Natu-B4® acts in certain metabolic pathways, i.e. after nutrient absorption, it does not compete for substrates with enzymes and emulsifiers, and may even have a complementary or synergistic effect with these additives.

Environment

For every ton of Natu-B4® applied, we stop using almost 5 tons of petroleum derivatives from a chemical industry. Instead, we use a 100% natural product derived from carbon-fixing plants.
